It is the one by E.V. Rieu, whoever that is.
Heh, that sounds derogatory, but I guess I mean it more towards myself...I have no idea which ones are good or bad.
I had to go find my dog-eared copy...it has tape holding the paperback cover on, and there is a card I must have used as a bookmark: “Things Newlyweds Need”

It's good - very clear, but not entirely accurate.
And that other translation is Richmond, not Richard, Lattimore.
